    Idaho Sheep info for a newbie

    Since your odds are long, you should probably look at the areas that have tags then start taking some trips to those areas and then see what area catches your eyes in terms of the terrain that you like the most. Then just start applying. The fact is most idaho hunts end with a 6-8 year old ram...

    People who have successfully been granted permission to hunt a strangers land, how did you do it?

    I do it differently. I use OnX to get their name. I Google the name and get a phone number. I call the number at a reasonable time of day usually late afternoon. I say “Hi I’m Jimbo from ____insert where you live____ and I’m calling because I have a tag and I’m wondering if you have a moment of...

    Bring back made in USA..

    There’s been dozens of posts over the last year about Made in USA. We all talk about it and want it but the fact is we are addicted to cheap goods. Supply/demand and market value of labor is being rebalanced aggressively. Labor and wages are the big topic. Lots of people blame unions, socialism...

    2021 Antelope Hunting Success Stories

    My 15 y/o connected on this buck yesterday, opening day in Idaho. The day prior, I spotted him and was able to the call the landowner who was willing to let us hunt.

    Hunting Misconceptions and Ethics

    People experience religion, spirituality, and evolution individually and on some sort of range/scale and you never really know the perspective of the person —— Many people believe that man does not have or should not assert dominion over other species. They believe we have evolved as humans such...

    Idaho controlled rifle

    I’m not aware of many publicly available maps. If I were you, I would not not count on the elk moving much out of their normal places in November… every time I hunt a southern unit I’m disappointed by lack of snow…

    Idaho Controlled deer Archery unit 22

    The deer are probably higher elevation and in sanctuary areas. This time of year you better locate something in the first hour of the day because by 8:30a they will be heading into the cover to bed down. Even in the evening if you are glassing you should look into the shaded areas.

    Idaho?

    Maybe you should take a week long summer trip out here and rent a vehicle, drive the state, lay your eyes on the land, and see what intrigues you. Take a drive from Boise to Weiser to McCall to Stanley to Ellis to Howe to Arco to Picabo to Boise and then you will know what you are dealing with...

    Are you ready? got all the knowledge you need when all hell breaks loose.

    While I understand your thought process, I think most people would feel better abd be smarter to stick it out at their own home behind a locked door, and the more likely scenario is natural disaster, so most people would be better off making sure they could withstand a month without electricity...

    How many people are living in the wilderness?

    I’m sure it could be done in the Frank Church without getting “noticed” / “caught”. I’m not aware of any modern day tales but there are plenty of legends from the early 20th century and prior living in the Salmon River basin. I imagine there is a strong correlation between how much money and...
